Product details

Tab dimensions and wire range

The 160859-5 is the male 0.250" (6.35mm) tab member of TE's Fastin-Faston quick-disconnect terminal line, accepting 17-20 AWG wire with a crimp termination. The tab is 0.620" (15.75mm) long and 0.032" (0.81mm) thick, with a silver-plated phosphor bronze contact for corrosion resistance and repeated mating cycles.

Series & positions

Within the Fastin-Faston series the 160859-5 is the 17-20 AWG male tab; the sibling 927899-2 is also a 0.250" male tab but accepts 18-22 AWG wire, so the 160859-5 covers the heavier wire gauge range.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation is available for 160859-5?

The part is ROHS3 Compliant per the manufacturer listing.

Will 160859-5 drop into a panel specified around 927899-2 without rewiring?

Both are 0.250" male tabs with the same tab width and thickness, but the 927899-2 accepts 18-22 AWG while the 160859-5 accepts 17-20 AWG — the wire gauge range differs, so the wire size must match the terminal's specified range.
